In a powerful new appearance on WIVB, Rosanna Berardi, Managing Partner of Berardi Immigration Law, weighed in on a recent immigration case that grabbed headlines and stirred emotions in the Buffalo community. The interview centered on the release of a University at Buffalo researcher who had been detained by federal immigration authorities for over three weeks, a situation that highlighted both the human stakes and the legal complexities of U.S. immigration enforcement.
During the segment, Rosanna didn’t mince words about the relief and significance of the outcome for everyone involved. “I am absolutely thrilled that the professor was released,” said immigration attorney Rosanna Berardi. “I couldn’t even imagine.” Her comment underscored not just professional satisfaction, but genuine empathy for individuals and families navigating the U.S. immigration system.
Rosanna also used the platform to walk viewers through what this case means in a broader legal context, explaining how immigration law operates and why outcomes like this resonate beyond a single headline. She stressed the importance of legal advocacy, awareness of rights, and qualified representation, especially as federal practices and priorities continue to evolve.
For communities, employers, and individuals across Western New York and beyond, Rosanna’s insights serve as both guidance and reassurance in an area of law that can often feel opaque and intimidating. If this interview reminds us of anything, it’s that behind every statute and enforcement directive are real people whose lives are deeply affected.
